First of all, you need to find a direct Cheatham MALE ancestor,then convince him to test his DNA. You can get a DNA kit online I happen to like http://www.familytreedna.com/ best and that is where the Cheatham/Chatham DNA project has been established for any Cheatham needing a DNA test run. There are certainly other DNA companies but believe, me, they don't have the extensive resources that FTDNA does for matching. If you go through the Cheatham/Chatham project you can save a bit of money on the test. Mind you,it is NOT inexpensive to test DNA, but so well worth it! You will need to test a minimum of 37 markers, 67 markers is better for fine tuning, but you can certainly do 37 markers first to sort of see where you stand in the big Cheatham picture and upgrade to 67 markers later on if need be. FTDNA will post your results on the Cheatham/Chatham project page so you can compare results with other donors.
